Ah, makes sense, given the kingdom arms.  A quick browse thru the O&A
shows that the exact wording varies majorly, but I think this is an
SCA-acceptable blazon:

    Gules, a bend wavy between two double bitted axes or, as an
    augmentation on the bend in chief a mullet of five greater and
    five lesser points sable.

Despite the fact that the SCA generally avoids "charged with", that
apparently can be used as well.  I think such a blazon would be about
as elegant as the one above (that is, not particularly in either
case).

(Examples: 
    Alan Fairfax|9907M|a|Bendy sinister Or and gules, a canton sable,
        for augmentation the canton charged with an annulet Or.
    Howard, Duke of Norfolk, Earl Marshal of England|9412L|a|Gules, a
        bend between six crosses crosslet fitchy argent, for
        augmentation, on the bend in chief an escutcheon Or charged
        with a demi-lion its mouth pierced by an arrow within a double
        tressure flory counter-flory gules.
